I think it's only KDE. I don't have the issue with aptosid xfce. Also, changing distro would not help, in my opinion, as I had the same problem with Chakra for example.

i must say that after having certain desktop effects in kde enabled (namely: fade, logout and minimize animation), which i had all disabled, and animation speed set to normal, the severity of the problem reduced significantly.

also, desktop effects render quite smoothly. actually, smoother and faster than ever before on this ancient radeon 9200. so, looks like xserver team did a really good job.

Old Radeon 7500 here on a Thinkpad T42..the artifacts are largely gone from here too. Whatever bug that caused this was somehow fixed
